My car is a standard 420bhp 996 TT.

What boost should my car be peaking at?
What solid boost should my car be holding?

Thanx,

Nick.

It varies according to the engines requirements...................................
"Boost pressure is controlled by a joint stroke for the bypass valves masterminded by the engine management. The opening diameter depends on the charge pressure required and is around 1.80 bar at full load, reached at approximately 2700 rpm. Boost pressure is controlled as engine speed increases, and is around 1.65 bar at maximum
power. Which means you should see between 0.5(ish) & 0.8 bar (max) on your digital boost display, with your foot flat down."
I had 0.9 to 1 bar showing & thought this was great until my PSM & ABS failed... it turned out to be a faulty MAF sensor!!

Just looked at the profile...is it "THE NICK", does that mean you are now driving the car rather than just taking it out of the garage to clean it & then putting it back again? having said that it certainly looks nice in the profile piccy!
